    So I just came back from Property Tax Court after appealing my taxes again this year. They definitely were a heck of a lot tougher this year -- I had to give a presentation on my properties to the board. They grilled a few of the other property owners before me pretty well, and I thought I was in for it because I kind of half-assed it this year, but they made me an offer on one (about a $1500 reduction) and it looks like I'm losing the other two.

      Took me exactly 30 minutes and cost me $30 in filing fees (well, besides the 7 additional years of overpaying by $7k of course). I didn't have a lawyer, although most of the other 5 people there did. Why doesn't everyone do this??

        That's a pretty good reason.
